Under the supervision of Prof. Hala Sayed Metwally, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, and with the organization of Dr. Reham El-Kady, Director of the Academic Advising Unit, and Mr. Mohamed Gamal Atwa, Faculty Secretary, the Faculty of Al-Alsun has designated a fully equipped location on the ground floor of the faculty building to receive students with special needs. This initiative comes within the framework of the university's strategy to support its students and facilitate all educational and administrative services for them.

The designated facility includes an office for receiving student files and completing all administrative procedures related to their enrollment at the faculty. Additionally, a fully equipped clinic has been set up to conduct the required medical examinations as part of the admission process, enabling students to complete their procedures swiftly in an accessible and safe environment that meets their specific needs.

As part of this initiative, the Academic Advising and Student Support Unit at the Faculty of Al-Alsun, in collaboration with a group of first-year student volunteers, welcomed students with disabilities for their computer exams at the "Rafiq Al-Darb" Library in the faculty. The volunteer team was keen to receive the students, guide them to their exam rooms, introduce them to the faculty building, organize an orientation tour, and present them with commemorative gifts.

Prof. Salwa Rashad, Dean of the Faculty, affirmed that this step is part of the faculty’s ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive and supportive educational environment that ensures equal opportunities for all students. She noted that the faculty administration places great importance on integrating students with special needs into various academic and cultural activities organized by the faculty.

For her part, Prof. Hala Sayed Metwally, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, stated that allocating this facility reflects the faculty’s commitment to creating appropriate conditions for its students and removing any obstacles they might face. She pointed out that the facility was designed to be fully accessible and easy to navigate, aligning with the university's drive toward achieving quality standards and academic accreditation.

This initiative reaffirms Ain Shams University's vision of supporting and empowering students with special needs and integrating them effectively within the university community, thereby contributing to the development of a generation capable of actively participating in the country’s progress.
